Hey, remember the reigning World Champion? Remember him? Yeah, he just went out and whopped the field's ass in Hungary, as Lando Norris took his first win of the 2026 season at the Hungaroring as Ferrari's efforts were thwarted again and for the first time all season, Mercedes looked human.
Dre and Cam talk about McLaren, and the fact they can never have a normal Hungarian GP, with Oscar Piastri leading early on before a collision with Carlos Sainz under blue flag conditions on an outlap had Lando take advantage and control of the race. We also had Max Verstappen hate everything about his difficult RB22 and still finish in second. And Kimi Antonelli making the 2-stopper work en route to third place. 
There's also a chat about Malaysia taking the place of Bahrain on the calendar as rising conflicts in the Middle East has led to WEC and F1 making movements to close out 2026. All that and more on a new Motorsport101!

Sorry this one came around a bit late, didn't want it to get lost to F1's Hungarian GP, this one's a bit special as Chris DeHarde of Frontstretch.com joins Dre, RJ and Cam to talk about all things Nashville as Alex Palou commit a wild case of daylight robbery in Nashville, on a Monday?!
Yeah, the race was going to be immdiately after the World Cup Final, but mother nature decided there was other plans, with a lightning hold then a storm flooding the track causing a postponement until Monday afternoon. The other major story was David Malukas starting from the back of the grid after crashng his #12 Penske in practice. 
Palou took advantage of Alex Rossi forgotting how to pit properly and being hit by Scott Dixon, to dive into the pits and make the commitment line before the caution came out, jumping him to the front. After that,. he survived the entire Penske fleet behind him to take his fifth win of the season, extending his Championship lead to 83 points with just six rounds left. 
The foursome talk the brilliance of Palou's win, as well as the difficult nature of running a race on a Monday, and how rancid the dialogue got in regardless to the race, and the series on social media. Enjoy!

It's the rise of the machines, depending on who you ask. Kimi Antonelli wins another race at the Belgian Grand Prix, and with a battery-short George Russell put in the gravel trap thanks to Lewis Hamilton, we're back to a 45-point lead for the Italian teenager with just one race to go before the Summer Break. Is the Italian starting to run away with it?
We also discuss both that and the controversial Charles Leclerc/Oscar Piastri block and whether that crossed the line for a penalty. Does George Russell have a more significant issue with his driving after falling back to a 50-point deficit to his teammate? And is the AI software controlling the cars battery too much of an influence on the sport?
We also review Charles Leclerc's P2, Max Verstappen's return to the podium as well as a strong performance from teammate Isack Hadjar, where the Racing Bulls are at post-upgrade, and whether Spa will be missed as it prepares for its future as a rotational race.

Let's get the formalities out of the way - Marc Marquez was a fastest lap in the Sprint away from a perfect weekend. Pole, both wins, 37 points in the bag and with it, his deficit to the Championship is now just 18 points. But around him, it's yet more chaos for the title contenders.
Fabio di Giannantonio switched aero packages heading into Sunday's action and he tucks the front and crashes. Alex Marquez ruins a perfectly good Movistar tribute livery and crashes at the last corner. Jorge Martin has lost all confidence in his front end at Aprilia. And Marco Bezzecchi? Well he has a huge highside at Turn 6 down the waterfall and breaks his collarbone. He was out of the weekend meaning just 13 points from the Italian in the last 4 weekends. Is it now Marquez's to lose?
We also talk the potential end of Maverick Vinales' career? Gresini unveil their 2027 lineup of Joan Mir and Dani Holgado, and whether the "One Bike" rule may be dead in the water!

In maybe the biggest silly season move in IndyCar history (At least according to William "Billy" Buxton and to be fair, he's probably right), that in startling news, Scott Dixon is leaving Chip Ganassi after 25 years with the team, to move to McLaren on a multi-year contract for 2027 and beyond.
Dre, Cam and RJ talk about all the potential ramifications, because not only is Dixon heading to McLaren, Indy 500 Winner Felix Rosenqvist is heading back to the Papaya in replacement of Nolan Siegel. Yes, Christian Lundgaard is done with McLaren while sitting third in the Championship. What happens next? Who takes the #66 car at MSR? Does Chip bringing in Lundgaard as his new #9 project? Who else could be in play?
There was also a race this weekend, as McLaren followed up the rumours with their best ever IndyCar result, a 1-2 finish in Mid-Ohio and Pato O'Ward's first win of the season, with Lundgaard close behind in second. Are both men still actually in the title race? What about Rinus Veekay putting himself in the shop window with a 4th place finish?
